We’ve all been through those awkward teenage years. No one escaped them. You could have had a bad haircut, a permanently pained expression or particularly eyebrow-raising style – the awkward phase is an inevitable stage of life.
Fortunately, those awkward years are now used to help victims of Hurricane Maria.
Stephen Colbert and his guest Nick Kroll agreed on The Late Show to donate money to help aid efforts in Puerto Rico every time a celebrity shared an awkward photo from their younger years, indy100.com reports.
This is how the #PuberMe hashtag was born, and it’s proven to be quite a success.
Colbert kicked things off nicely:
Nick Kroll asked me to post a pic of my awkward stage, but I never had one. So here’s me lookin’ cool as hell! #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/UC9a7XtjZa

Kroll followed
Thank you Stephen. In return, here’s me trying to look like a tough guy because I hadn’t yet hit #puberme. #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/WAzZ6kk6qb
